Are Brown Diamonds Here To Stay?
Thursday, September 30th, 2010Diamonds have been desired since ancient times and they continue to be as popular as ever. It appears there is no indication these vibrant precious stones will ever lose their valuable status. While the popularity of distinct types and styles of jewelry comes and goes diamonds will eternally be cherished.
A certain type of diamond that has become especially hot in the last few years is the colored diamond, especially the yellows and browns. In simple terms a fancy color diamond is a genuine diamond that is colored instead of clear. Colored diamonds have the same characteristics, are made from the same elements and have the same brilliant sparkle but instead of being colorless or white they have a color, anywhere from light to intense. Some fancy color diamonds are created this way by nature under the surface of the earth, some are completely synthetic, and some are real diamonds are color enhanced in a laboratory. The ones colored by nature are the most valued, but each of these colored gems have grown very fashionable.
Colors like pinks and blues have always been precious, but of late the yellows and browns have won a great deal of attention. Yellow and brown stones were formerly believed to be low color and not suitable for jewelry, rather they were normally utilized for industrial roles. But these natural colored beauties have come a long way and as we are seeing celebrities wearing them at premiers they are holding their newly achieved status. If you have seen a rich chocolate diamond you will understand why.
These dark and light earthy gems work well with a variety of hair and skin tones making them simple for anyone to wear elegantly. These brown diamonds also go with either gold or white gold, and with the trend towards natural colors and styles these dazzling beauties are perfect. Whether they will continue to be as popular as they are today is yet to be discovered, but having that diamond status will likely help them remain popular. As the saying goes “a diamond is forever”whether white or colored.
